On February 11, 2019, the board of directors (the "Board") of Natus Medical Incorporated (the "Company") appointed Alice D. Schroeder and Thomas J. Sullivan to serve as directors on the Board, effective February 11, 2019. The Company will also nominate Ms. Schroeder and Mr. Sullivan for election at its 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As compensation for their service on the Board, Ms. Schroeder and Mr. Sullivan will receive annual retainers of $60,000.00. Ms. Schroeder and Mr. Sullivan were each also granted restricted stock valued at $150,000.00 upon their appointment to the Board. There is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Schroeder or Mr. Sullivan and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Schroeder or Mr. Sullivan was selected as a director. The Board has determined that Ms. Schroeder and Mr. Sullivan are each independent and have no material direct or indirect interest in a related party transaction which requires disclosure pursuant to Rule 404(a) of Regulation S-K. At the time of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Board has not made any determinations regarding Board committee assignments for Ms. Schroeder or Mr. Sullivan.

On February 11, 2019, Robert Gunst informed the Company that he will not stand for re-election to the Board at the Company's 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Mr. Gunst has notified the Company that his not standing for re-election is not based on any disagreement with the Company. Following Mr. Gunst's retirement from the Board, the Board will be composed of seven directors, six of whom are independent.

On February 13, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing the appointment of Ms. Schroeder and Mr. Sullivan to the Board. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
